For those who own the game on Steam, I have put this version in the "beta branch"

this adds nothing new to gameplay/story, but allows you to play the game using manga art. OF COURSE, the manga art is for the characters only! and not the cards or even many enemies (except Shiler). Redoing all the enemies was too much and beside this clearly was made with the romances in mind...
The only thing missing is that Miakoda needs to check a few lines of texts I added in Alex/Mira and Alex/Samuel romances in the manga version of the CGs.Remember that the new manga CG in suggestive mode have full nudity! So if you don't want to see such contents, go in options and turn the "Suggestive Content" option off!!

What's New in 1.1.4
- in the options screen now you can toggle the art from realistic to manga. The change is instant, once you exit the options you'll see the selected art style (it's kind of cool lol)

So I am one of the people who didn't buy the game because of the art style Charlotte's smile haunted my dreams. But now I have picked it up and am loving it! The new art looks amazing!! Galina H Holy Zoinks! I am partially though in VN mode. No bugs yet, mostly just wanted to thank you for updating the art style. Certainly won me over!!!

How do I get to the 'beta branch'? I've been playing the game for hours, and the manga option isn't in any menu, nor is this 'beta branch' anywhere in the game so far. Is it a story choice? A download I need special access to obtain? Do I enter a secret cheat code? Do I need to have beaten the game once already in order to unlock it? I've tried looking online for help but haven't found any explanations.

To get the Beta Branch on Steam takes a little work. No secret code needed, nor does it need to be beaten.

Right click on the title of your account and choose the one called Properties. This will bring up another window with 5 tabs at the top of it. Click the on the Beta tab.

Below that you will see a line that says "Select the beta you would like to opt into" . Currently it is set on None...so choose "Beta" and it should download the additional content.
